Fails in Bid to Get James Earl Ray Rifle
Private detective Renfro T. Hays failed in his suit to gain custody of James Earl Ray's car and the rifle allegedly used to kill Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The circuit judge ruled the petition for disciplinary proceedings meritless and stricken. Hayes, a Ray defense worker, had earlier won $6,000 against Ray and sought the 1965 Mustang and high powered rifle to partially satisfy that debt.
